'Patented Feb. 11, 1936 PATENT orties MEANS FOR CUTTING, SETTING, AND SHARPENING CIRCULAR SAWS ErichPoeggel, Remscheid, Germany Applictin July 2,1934, Serial N0. 733,409 l This invention relates to means for cutting,-

- setting and sharpening circular saws.

The present application is a continuation in v part of my co-pending patent applicationrelating to Cutting, .setting and sharpening saws, Serial No. 552,702, filed Ju1y23, 1931'now Patent Number 1,968,352.

An object ofthe present invention is the provision of asingle machine by means of which the cuttingsetting and sharpening of circular saws may be' carried out automatically and in rapid succession.

Another object is the provision of a machine by means of which various teeth of a single circular saw may be cut. set and sharpened automatically, thus eliminatimg the necessity of' employing skilled labor in the manufacture of circular saws.

The above and other objects of this' invention may be realized through the provision of a single machine comprising an intermittently rotated central Isupport which is connected by radial guides withI cutting, setting and sharpening devices situated around said support and movable radially with 'respect thereto, the setting and sharpening devices being movable around said central support in relation to the cutting device.

The invention will appear more clearly from I Ythe following detailed description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings 30 lshowing a preferred embodiment ofthe inventive idea.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is avplan view ofthe machine for machine for manufacturing circular saw blades con- -structed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.

. Figure 2 is a vertical section along the line 2-2 ofFigure 1.

Figure 3 shows the cutting device in vertical section. i Figure 4 is avertical section along of Figure 3. v 9 Figure 5 is a horizontal'section along the line 5-5'01' Figure 3.

Figure 6 shows the setting device in section. Figure 7 is a vertical section along the line 1-1 of Figure 6.

Flgui'e 8 'shows the sharpening device in section.

The machine illustrated in the drawings is carlrieti by a base I!) comprising a hollow central support II, a shaft vbearing I2 and a supporting web I3. /l The .web I3 carries three pairs of vertical supthe une 4-4 A ...55g ports I4 and I4a, one offwhich is shown in secr' of the drawings. Another ring 32 is situated on (o1. '1s-2s) I tion in Figure 2 of the drawing The 'supports I4 and I4a carry .an annular guide I5 and may be cast of one piece with the web I3 and the guide I5.

As shown more clearly in Fig. 2 the circular 5 guide I5 is provided with an outer side surface I3, an inner side surface I1 and upper surfaces I9 along which the setting device 43 and the sharpening device 44 may bemoved.

A vertical spindle low support I I. A radial track which carries the setting device 43 comprises an annular por tion 23a which is place'd horizontally on top of the support II. Another radial track 2l which ycarries the sharpening device 44 comprises an 15 annular portion 2 Ia which is situated on top of the annulus 20a and carries a wheel 22 having a lconsiderably larger diameter than the support II and provided with teeth 23. Another annular member 24 is situated on top vofthe wheel v22.

The spindle I9 passes through central openings formed in the members 23a, `2Ia, v 22 and 24 and is cast of a single piece with a vertical rod 25, which has a considerably smaller diameter than the spindle I9, so that an annular nange 291s formed between the side surfaces of the rod 25 and the spindle I9.

A toothed wheel 21 is carried by the flange 26. A hollow support 28 fits on top of the vertical rod 25 and is also carried by the flange 25. The upper portion of the support 28 has a much larger outer diameter than its tubular lower portion 29, as shown in Figure 2. The tubular portion 29 of the support 28 fits into the central opening of the toothedwheel 21, so that the toothed wheel 21 surrounds the tube 29 as well as the rod 25.

A hub 30, which is placed upon the wheel 21 also surrounds the tubular portion 29 and the rod 25. The hub 3Q is cast of a single piece with a lever 3| which is shown in top view in Figure l top of the ring 30 and carries bolts 33 which establish a permanent connection between the ring 32 and the tubular portion 29 of the support 23. TheV support I2 carries a shaft 34 which is rotatably mounted in said support and which isrigidly connected with a bevel wheel 35 meshing with the teeth 23 of the wheel 22. The wheel 35 is firmly connected withanother bevel wheel' 39 which is keyedv upon a shaft31.

The shaft 31 is carried by a bearing,62 and is driven by a motor 6 I. The bevel wheel 3l meshes with a bevel wheel 4I keyed upon ahorizontal shaft 42 which is carried by a bearing 63. The

shaft 42 is rigidly eenneeted with e. bevel wheel 55 is is situated within the hoi- 1ol upon a vertical shaft 39 which is firmly connected with a horizontal disc 49, shown in top view in Figure 2 of the drawings.

around the spindle I9 and are mounted upon the annular guide I5.

The setting device 43 shown in sections in Figures 2, 6 and 7 comprises a casing 45 having lower guide portions 45, which are slidable along the guides 49a forming a part of the radial track 29. The track 29 carries a shaft 41, which is rotatably mounted in the track and which is firmly connected with a bevel wheel 49 (Fig. 2) meshing with the teeth 23 of the toothed wheel 22.

- The sharpening device 44 shown in section in Figure 8 comprises a casing 49, which comprises lower guiding members 49a slidable along guides 2lb of the radial track 2|. Thetrack 2| carries a shaft 59 provided with a bevel wheel 5|, (Fig. 1) which also meshes with teeth 23 of the toothed wheel 22. The sharpening device 44 is movable around the spindle I9 and in a direction toward and away from the spindle in substantially the same manner as thev setting device 43.

. The cutting device 42 is movable only in the direction toward and away from the spindle I9 and is carried by a track 52 which is rigidly connected with the guide I5. y l The guide I5 comprises a groove 53 which extends along the entire length of the guide |5 arid the bottom of which is provided with teeth 54.

As shown in Figure 1, the track 29 is cast of a single piece with the bearing which carries' a shaft 59. A gear wheel 51 is keyed upon the shaft 59 and meshesvwith the teeth 54 situated at the bottom of the groove 53. I'he shaft 5 9 may be rotated by hand or by any. suitable motor not shown in the drawings. When the shaft 59 is rotated, it causes the rotation of the gear 51 meshing with the teeth 54 withA the result that the,

entire radial track 29 carrying the setting device 43 is moved circumferentially around the As shown inFigure 1, the machine is driven by a motor 9| driving the shaft 31 which is sup-'- ported by the bearing 92. When the shaft 31 is rotated by the motor 9|, it will drive the two bevelv wheels 39 and 35 which are rigidly connected with the shaft 31.

Since the bevel wheel 35 meshes with the bevel wheel 4| the latter will be rotated along with its shaft 42, which is carried by a bearing 93. The

bevel wheel 94 which is rigidly connected with the shaft 42, will rotate along with this shaft and will drive the bevel wheel 39, keyed upon the shaft 3 Since the disc 49 is rigidly connected with the 94 which meshes with a bevel wheel 39 keyed shaft 99, the disc 49 will be rotated As shown in Figure 1 of the drawings, the disc 49 is provided with a pair of supports 95 and 99 and guides 91 situated on top of the disc 49. A threaded bolt 99 is rotatably mounted in the supports 95-and 99 and carries a slide 99. When the handle 19 of the bolt 99 is rotated,'the slide 99 is moved along the guides 91 thus shifting the position of the pivot 1I carried by the slide 99.

One end of. a link 12 is carried by the pivot 1|. The opposite end of the link 12'is connected by a pivot 13 with a lever 3|. Due to the provision of the link 12, the rotation of the disc 49 is changed to an oscillatory motion of the lever 3| around the rod 25.

The lever 3| carries a pawl 14 which is suspended by the pivot 15 from the lower surface of the lever 3|. The pawl 14 meshes with the teeth 'I9 of the toothed wheel 21, which is keyed to the sleeve 29 forming a part of the support 29.

As has been mentioned already, the lever 3| is oscillated around the rod 25 by the rotation of the disc 49. During the forward motion of the lever 3|, the pawl 14 engages one of the teeth 19 of the wheel 21 and turns the wheel in the direction shown by an arrow in Figure l. During the return movement of the lever 3| in the opposite direction, the pawl I4 slides over the teeth 19 with the result that the wheel 2l does not move. During the next forward movement of the lever 3| in the direc'tion shown by the arrow, the pawl 14 again `moves into engagement with another-one of the teeth 1,9 with the result that the wheel 21 is again moved in the same direction. The pawl 14 is pressed against the teeth 16 by a spring 11 which is carried by the lever 3 I.

Due to this arrangement, the oscillatory'movement of the lever 3| is changed into an inter- -mittent rotation -of the wheel 21 in the saine direction. Since the wheel 21 is keyed to the sleeve 29 forming a part of the support 29 and since the ring 32 shown in Figure 2, is connected by bolts 33 to the sleeve 29, the toothed wheel 21, the ring 32 and the support 29 will rotate intermittently in the same direction.

A circular saw 19 is placed upon the support 29 and is firmly attached to this support by means of a disc 19 and a screw 99. Due to this arrangement, the circular saw 19' is intermit-'^ tently rotated along with the support 29 in the same direction.`

The time during which the saw 19 is rotated and the intervals during which it is at a standstill, as well as the speedof rotation of the saw,'must beselected in such manner that the time during which the saw is at a standstill is suflicient to permit the cutting, setting andv sharpening devices 42, 43 and 44 to perform their work upon the teeth of the circular saw. Furthermore, the speed and the time of rotation of the circular saw 19 must be such, that during each period of motion the saw is moved either one 'pitch or a double pitch depending as to whether the cutting, setting and sharpening devices operate upon one tooth or two teeth of the saw at atime. The movement of the saw may be changed by using different toothed wheels 21 and/or by changing the amplitude of oscillation of the'lever 3| by adjusting the position of the pivot 1| upon the disc 49 through the they can be easily removed and replaced by other bolt 9 carried by a support 9a forming a part of the track 92. An end of the bolt 9engages a member 9b forming a part of the casing 99 (Fig. 3).

The casing 99 of the teeth setting device may be moved radially along the guides 99a of the track 29 by a similar device comprising a threaded bolt 9 which is carried by a support 9c forming a part of the track 29, and which engages a member 9d forming'a part of the casing I9 (Fig. 6).

The 'casing 49 of the teeth sharpening device 99 is moved radially along the guides 99a of the track v2| by a similar device comprising a threaded bolt 9 which is carried by a support 9f forming a part 'of the track 2|, and which engages a member 9g forming a part of the casing 49 (Fig. 8). 4

'I'he device 92 for cutting teeth is illustrated in Figs. 3, 4 and 5 of the drawings. The device is enclosed in a casing 99, which is slidably mounted upon the guides 8| of the radial track 92.

The track 52 carries a shaft' 92 which is rotated by the toothed wheel 22 meshing with the bevel wheel 92h which is rigidly attached to one end of the shaft 92, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

The shaft 92 is rotatably mounted in bearings formlnga part of the track 92.

'I'he shaft 92 carries a toothed sleeve 92a which meshes with a toothed wheel 99. The sleeve 82a which is keyed upon the shaft' 82 is sufliciently long to remain in contact with the wheel 99 in -spite of the movements of the casing 99 in the radial direction, caused by the rotation of the bolt 9.

The toothed wheel 99 is keyed upon a shaft 84 carried by bearings 85 forming a part of the casing 99. A bevel wheel 99 is rigidly connected with the shaft 89 and meshes with a bevel wheel 91 which is carried by a vertical shaft 89. The opposite-` end of the shaft 99 carries a coupling 99 which is used to connect the shaft 99 with a shaft so.

The shaft 99 carries a bevel wheel 9| which meshes with another bevel wheel 92 keyed upon a horizontal shaft 99. A toothed wheel 99 is ,loosely mounted on the shaft 99 but may be operatively connected with said shaft, as will be described hereinafter.

The wheel 94 drives a toothed wheel 99. The wheel 99 and a bevelled wheel 99 are keyed upon a shaft 91 which is rotatably mounted in the casing 99.- The bevelled wheel 99 meshes with a bevelled wheel 98 which is rigidly connected with-the horizontal shaft 99. The rotation of the shaft 99 is transmitted to the cam |99, which is shown in front elevation in Fig. 4 of the drawings.

As shown in Fig. 4, the cam |99 which is keyed upon the shaft 99 is surrounded by an eccentric |9I, which is cast of a single piece with a punch |92. Due to this arrangement, the rotation of the shaft 99 is transformed into a vertical reciprocal movement ofthe punch |92.

The punch |92 carries a cutter '|99 which is' connected with the punch by a pin |91. The

punch |92 is connected by means ofI springs H9, with a pair ofV holders |99, so that the lup and down movement of the cutter |92 is transmitted to the cutter |99 and the holders |99. Due to the fact that the cutter |99 'and-the holders |99 are detachably connected with the punch |92,

4parts'should that become necessary The punch m is guided by s pnof guides .|99 whichv form a part of the casing 99.

Due to the provision of the springs ||9 the holders |99 can come in contact with the saw 19 and can hold it while the cutter |99 is pressed against the saw 19, to cut the teeth oi the saw.

s support m is situated under thefpunen m andis provided with a removable and replaceable counter cutter or die ||2.

The punch |92 is adapted to make two saw teeth during one revolution of the shaft 99. The gear transmission is preferably such that the shaft 99 rotates three times as fast as the shaft 99 or as quickly as the shaft 92.

The teeth cutting'device 92 is'provided with an automatic locking device which is used to prevent a further cutting ofteeth, but which does not `prevent the saw 18 from continuing itsqrotation. This locking device is operable when it is desired to manufacture a round saw having straight edge portions, as well as toothed portions, i. e., a round saw only a part of thecirf cumference of which is provided with teeth. V

This locking device comprises a toothed wheel ||9 which is carried by the shaft 99 but which is situated outside of the casing-99. The wheel ||9 drives a toothed wheel ||9 which is firmly connected with a toothed wheel H9. The toothed wheel H9, meshes with the toothed wheel ||9 which is rigidly connected with the toothed wheel H1. The toothed wheel ||1 meshes with a toothed wheel ||9 which is rotatable along with la, toothed wheel ||9 meshing with 'a toothed wheel |29. The toothd wheel' |29 meshes with a toothed wheel |2| which drives a toothed wheel |22. The wheels ||9 to |22 are preferably of such dimensions that during cine-third of the complete revolutionof the shaft 99 or during one complete revolution ofthe shaft 99, tbewheel |22 turns a distance corresponding to the pitch of its teeth. The number of teethof the toothed wheel |22 may be equal to one-half the number ofthe teeth of the saw blade. Then the wheel |22 w'ill complete one revolution when one saw blade has passed through the cutting Idevice 92. since the punch |92 makes two teeth during one revolution of the shaft 99. 1

A cam disc |29 provided with a cam surface |29 and a gap |21 is nnly connected with the wheel |22 and is rotated thereby. The length of the circumference of the cam surface |29 corresponds to the total length of the teeth 4of a saw blade, while the length of the gap |21 corresponds to the length of 'that portion of the circumference of the saw which is to have straight edges.

A roller |29 is carried by a rod |29. A coiled spring |9| surrounds a rod |92, one end of which is rigidly connected-with a pawl |99. while the other endj is rigidly connected with the' rod |29.

The spring |9| presses the pawl |99 against the circumference of a wheel |99 and at the same ltime presses the roller |28 against the cam disc has the shape of an abutment which is adapted to come in contact with a correspondingly shaped end |31 of a lever |38 carrying a clutch |39 and pivoted at |40 to the casing 80. cConsequently, when the pawl |30 is situated in one of the notches |34 of the wheel |33, it presses the lever |38 downward (looking in the direction of Fig: ure against the action of the spring |4|a and keeps the clutch |39 open, thus interrupting a connection between the wheel |33 and the shaftv The wheel |33 is keyed to the sleeve |4| which .is mounted on the shaft' 93 and slidable on said shaft. 'I'he wheel 94 is also keyed to the sleeve 4|, so that it can rotate only together with the wheel |33. Therefore, when the pawl |30 locks the wheel |33, the toothed wheel 94 is also prevented from rotating.

Due to this arrangement, While the wheel |33 is locked by the pawl |30, the shaft 93 continues to rotate, this rotation being transmitted to the wheel ||3 keyed to said shaft and consequently l to the cam disc |25 through the geary wheels ||4 to |22. (Fig. 3). On the other hand, the shaft 99 which is driven by the wheel 94 is prevented from rotating because the wheel 94 is locked together with the wheel |33. Consequently, the saw will be moved through the device without coming in-contact with the punch |02, and the cam disc |25 will be rotated until the cam surface |20 comes in contact with the roller |28. Then due to the pressure of the cam surface |28 the roller |28 will be moved from left to right (looking in the direction of Figure 3), and consequently the rod |29 carrying this roller will be moved in the same direction and will pull the pawl |30 out of the notch |34 against the action of the spring |3|.

At the same time the lever |38 will be able to move upwards (looking in the direction of Figure 5) due to the action of the spring |4|a, and

the clutch |39 carried by the lever |38 will con-` nect the shaft 93 with the wheels |33 and 94. y

The toothed wheel 94 will be rotated by the shaft 93, will operate the punch |02 and will rotate the wheel |33 until the cam surface |28 leaves the roller |28 which again comes in contact with the gap |21 of the cam disc |25. At the same time the next notch |34 will come in front of the pawl |30. The spring |3| will press the pawl |30 into this notch so that the wheel |33 and 94 will be locked again, and the coupling |39 (Fig. 5) will be released again.

The locking device interrupts, therefore, the operative connection between the punch |02 and the shaft 93 while that portion of the saw which is to have no teeth passes under the punch |02.

Obviously, the movements of the punch |02 and of the support 28 must be timed in such a way that the punch |02 does not come in contact with the saw 18 during the intermittent movement of the saw.

Due to the described arrangement, the length and the number of teeth of the saw blade and the length of those portions of the saw which are to be free of teeth are automatically determined by the machine.

The setting device 43 shown in cross section in Fig. 6 of the drawings comprises a toothed wheel |50, carried by the shaft 93a, and meshing with the toothed wheel |5|.

The wheel |5| is firmly connected with a bevel wheel |52 which drives the bevel wheel |53 rmly connected with a shaft |54. 'I'he end portion |51 0f the shaft |54| carries a cam disc |55 (Fig. 7)

having a gradually rising cam surface |58 which has an abrupt incline from the highest to the lowest point.

The end portion |51 fits into an opening formed in the cam disc |55. As shown in Fig. '7, the end portion |51 does not ll the entire opening. If the shaft |54 is rotated in the direction of the arrow |58 shown in Fig. 6, the edge |59 (Fig. 7) of the end portion |51 will press against one of the end walls of the opening and a clearance |80 l will be formed between the opposite end wall |8| of the recess and the'adjacent surface of the end portion |51.

The cam disc |55 is in contact with a roller |82 carried by a punch holderv |53.- A setting punch 84 is connected with one end of vthe holder |83 while the other end of the holder is in contact with a spring |85. The spring |85 keeps the roller |52 pressed against the cam disc |55 so that the punch holder |83 follows the cam surface |58.

When the roller |82 comes in contact with the sharp incline of the cam surface, the punch holder |83 is thrust downward through the action of the spring |85. At the same time, the roller |82 will press against the cam disc |55 and, due to the provision of the. clearance |80, the cam disc |55, will yield to this pressure and will move somewhat with respect to the shaft |54. Due to this arrangement, the punch holder |83 will move with full force downward and this force will not be diminished by the counter pressure of the cam disc |55.

A nut is situated above the spring |85 and may be used for adjusting the tension of said spring.

Due to the shape of the c am disc |55 and the end portion |51`of lthe shaft |54, the punch |84 strikes hard i hammer-like blows against the saw 18.

A die or anvil |1| is situated under the punch |84 and is carried by a stand |12 supporte by the housing |13. The operative surfaces the punch |84 and the die 1| must correspond to the desired position and form of the saw'teeth.

A second punchv holder |14 is similar to the one just described and is used for setting simultaneously the seconyd one of a pair of teeth. The punch holder |14 is driven by means of a cam disc and a shaft |18 rotated by a wheel |11 which is rigidly connected with one end of the shaft 18. The wheel 11 meshes with a wheel |18, which is driven by a wheel |19. The wheel |19 is driven by a toothed wheel |50.y

A pawl |99 is used to lock the setting device during the passing of those portions of the saw which have no teeth. The device is provided with a plunger pin |80 and a spring |8| situated in an annular chamber |82 formed between exterior circular walls of a casing |83 and inner walls of a projecting member 84 forming a part of the casing |83.

The spring |8| presses against a sliding head |85 which is movable within the casing |83 and which surrounds one end of a rod |88. The rod |88 carries a piston |88 situated within a chamber |81 formed by the Walls of the sliding .head |85.

The head |85 carries a roller |89 adapted to slide along the side surfaces of a cam disc |90 rotated by a shaft |9|.

The shaft |9| is driven by the shaft 41 by means of a toothed sleeve |92 keyed upon the shaft 41 and meshing with a toothed wheel |93 keyed upon the shaft |94 which is carried by a bevel wheel |98 which is rotatable along with tapered end the shaft |84, meshes with a bevel wheel |91 which is-iirmly connected with the shaft |8|.

Due to this arrangement the spring |8| can the head |85 together with the pin |80 to the right (looking in the direction of Fig. 6) when the roller |88 comes in contact with the cut-out part of the cam |80. In this case the |88 of the pin |80 will project into the space betweenk two teeth of the saw 18 while the head |85 will pull the piston |88 and the rod |88 connected with the piston |88 to the right (looking in the direction of Figure 6); since thepawl |88 is firmly connected with the rod |88, the head |85 will prevent the pawl |89 from penetrating into one of the notches 200 of the wheel 20| which is carried by a sleeve 202 surrounding the shaft 93a.

, If, however, the tapered end |88 of the pin |88 does not meet the teeth 'of a saw, but instead of that comes in contact with straight edge portions of the saw, the sliding head |85 is prevented from moving al1 the distance to the right, so

sthat the spring 208 which surrounds the rod |88 will push the pawl |88 into one 'of the notches 288 las soon as a notch comes in front of the pawl. Then the wheel 20| is locked, so that the` wheel v| connected with the wheel 20| is also The pawl |88I while moving into one of the notches 200 at the same time releases a clutch which is not shown in the drawings and which is adapted to connect operatively the shaft 88a with the wheel |50, saidclutch being similar in construction to'the clutch |88, shown in Fig. 5. Due to this arrangement the wheel |50 is locked while the' shaft 88a continues to rotate.

The setting device 43 is released after the 'straight edge portions of the saw -have passed beyond the pin |80, and when a gap between two saw-teeth is again situated in front of said pin; then the spring |8| will be able to push the head |85 further to the right (looking in the direction p ofv Fig. 6) and the headv |85 will push the tapered end |88 of the pin |80 into the gap between two saw teeth.

Due to this forward motion, the head |85 will, pull the pawl |88 out of a notch 200 and at the same time the pawl |88 will move out of contact with the clutch, which will automatically establish an operative connection between' the wheels |58 and 20| and the rotating shaft 98a; the wheels |50 and 20| will begin to rotate along with the shaft 88, driving. the shafis |84 and |18 and the setting punches |84 and |14.

As shown in-Fig. 2, the lever 8|, the-toothed wheel 21 and the support 28 impart an intermittent feeding motion to the saw 18. The saw 18 is moved forward while the pawl 14 pushes thev teeth 18- of the wheel 21, and it remains stationary while the pawl 14 slides backwards ovel the teeth18. The pin |80 shown in Figure A 6 is also moved intermittently by means of the cam |80.

The cam |90 is rotated at a constant speed by the shaft |9| which is driven by the main shaft 41 through the medium of the toothedsleeve |82, the gear |83, theshaft |84and the bevel wheels |98 and |81.

The cam is of such shapethat it moves the roller `|88 andthe head |88 from right to left (looking in the direction of Fig. 6) whilethe saw 18 is moved through the machine, thus maintaining thepin |80 out of contact with the teeth of the saw 18.

'nwe surfaces of the cam m which rem` saw 18. The

' A 601.1p11ng |88 are so shapedthat contact with the roller l to move the head they permit the spring |-8| inthe opposite direction as soon as the feeding' movement of the saw into the space between 'ment of the head |85 caused by the cam |88 and the spring I8 and the intermittent' rotary move ment of the support 28 `caused by the pawl14 (Figs. l and 2) are, therefore, adjusted in such( 'a way that the head |85 remains stationary in its extreme right-hand position (looking in the direction of Fig. 6) while the saw 18 is stationary, and that the head |85 is moved from right to left just before the feed motion of the saw 18 is resumed.

Obviously, the reciprocating motion of the pin |80 caused by the cam |90 is necessary to permit the intermittent feeding movement of the saw 18, since the pin |80 must bev withdrawn from the space between two adjacent teeth before the saw 18 can be moved. During the greater part of the reciprocatory motion of the pin |80 the pawl |88 is situated in one of the notches 200, ythus-locking the punch holders |88 and |14. The pawl |88 is pulled out of the notch 280 and the punch holders |83 and operate only when the pin |80 is inor near its extreme right-hand position and its end |88 is projecting between the teeth of the saw 18, since in that position the saw 18 is at rest and no straight edge' portions of the saw are situated under the punch holder |83.

The shaft 83a is driven at a constant speed by the shaft- |84 which is connected with a bevel wheel 205 meshing with a bevel wheel 208 which is connected with one end of a vertical shaft 201. V 208 connects the shaft 281 withol shaft 208 the opposite end'l of which is provided with a bevel Wheel 2| 0 meshing with a bevel wheel 2| |V which is attached to the shaft 88a.

The sharpening device 44 is shown in section in Figure 8 of the drawings. Means for locking this device are similar to those used for locking the setting device 48 and comprise a wheel 228 provided with notches 22| and carried by a sleeve 222 which surrounds a shaft 228. The wheel 228 may be locked by a pawl 224 rigidly connected with one end of a rod 225, the opposite end of which carries a piston 228. A coiled spring 221 surrounds the rod 228 and is surrounded by the walls of a projection 228 forming a part of a casing 228. A coiled spring'280 is situated within the casing 228 and is adapted to press against a sliding head 28| which carries a pin 232.

'Ihe head 23| also carries a roller 288 which il in contact with the surfaces of acam disc 284 rotated by a vertical shaft 235. The shaft 285 is driven by the main shaft 50 which-carries a' |14 are permitted to i 181s interrupted, in ordei' that the end |88 of the pin |80 may be inserted two adjacent teeth of the intermittent reciprocating move- A shaft 235. \The opposite end of the shaft'288 1' bevel wheel 248 rotatable along with a vertical shaft 244; Theshaft 244 is connected with a vertical shaft 248 by means of a coupling 248. A bevel wheel 241 driven by the shaft 248, drives the bevel wheel 248 which is keyed upon the shaft 228. Due to this arrangementjthe shaft 228 is carries a bevel wheel 24,2 which meshes'with a 1 driven by the 'main shaft so through the medium of the gear wheels 236 and 231, the shaft 238,

241 and 24s. Y, y The shaft 223 carries a gear wheel 249 which is' rotatame among withtne shaft zzaand which engag'esa gearwheelr250- and a gear wheel 25|.

The wheel250 is keyed a crank shaft 252 which `drives a connecting rod 253 by means of a crank 254. q.,

The wheelf25l meshes with a gear wheel 255 keyed to a crank shaft 256 and driving a connecting rod 258 by means of a crank 251. 'Ihe connecting rods 253 and 258 are guided in slides 259 and 260, respectively, which form a part of the casing 49. A grinding disc 26| is mounted on a flexible shaft 262 which is carried by the rod 253. A similar grinding disc 263 is mounted upon a ilexible shaft 264 carried by the rod 258.

The reciprocating movement of the grinding discs 25| and 263, which is caused by the rotation of the wheel 249 driving the connecting rods 253 and 258, is used for the sharpening of the teeth of the saw 18. The exible shafts 262 and 264 are rotated at a constant speed by a driving mechanism not shown in the drawings.

Means for locking the sharpening device 44 are ting devices, and comprise the'pawl 224 which is adapted to come in contact with the adjacentend of a lever 265 carrying a clutch not shown in the drawings. 'Ihe lever 265 is attached by a pivot 266 to the casing 49; When the pawl 22 4 is situated in one of the notches 22|, it moves the lever 265 against the action of a spring (not shown) disengaging the clutch and interrupting a connection between the wheel 220 and the shaft 223. 'I'he wheel 229 is keyed upon the sleeve222 slidably mounted on the shaft 223. The wheel 249 is also keyed to the sleeve 222.

Due to this arrangement the saw 18 is locked while its teethv are being sharpened by the discs 26| and 263, and the wheel 249 is locked while th saw 18 is moved by the pawl 14. o
